The Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is a future linear park, spanning 7.5 walkable, bikeable miles between New York’s Village of Cold Spring and City of Beacon.
The Fjord Trail is a solution for managing tourism in the region and will make the beauty that surrounds us more accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
Fjords are formed over the course of thousands of years, but the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail won’t take quite that long! Most of the project is still in the planning phase — with completion projected for 2031.


#FJORDTRAIL
The Fjord Trail Will...
-
Help our community better manage the thousands of people who visit the region for hiking and recreation and keep pedestrians off neighborhood streets and away from busy and dangerous Route 9D.
-
Provide much-needed amenities and infrastructure that local municipalities have not been able to afford for visitors and residents who utilize the local trail system.
-
Ensure greater access to the riverfront for all residents and visitors by making an ADA-compliant trail that creates a safe route for seniors, people with disabilities, and families with children.
-
Protect our local environment for the long-term by repairing erosion, managing invasive species, and increasing shoreline resiliency.
